After three years of writing fiction about what tenderness means within a family and a larger community, I’m honored that my short story collection, Ajebutter Women, has found a home @RegalHouse1 I hope everyone looks out for the book when it's released in 2027!

Stanchion's first novel arrives in early February. @FBereaud has hit it out of the park with this beauty.

Random reflections from working on an anthology: 1) You’re part of a diverse team of readers all with different preferences, 2) Sometimes you’re late and feel bad! 3) You worry about getting it wrong and sometimes you do 4) You’re very humbled by the talent, that’s the best part

🎙️ Really enjoyed moderating this chat between BBC journalists @Itoroflower (in Washington, D.C.) and @TickTacFoe (in Lagos) on the “black tax”.
🌍 We discuss how the rising cost of living is impacting people’s willingness to send remittances abroad.
